3 Phase Quattro, ESS and Gen set on AC IN 2

Hi,

I have recently installed a 3 Phase on-grid ESS system using 3 x Quattro 10's with back-up 33KVA 3 phase diesel Gen set. The issue I am having is the system does not accept any current from the gen set despite the gen voltage being present on the AC input 2 terminals of the Quattro's, AC In 2 being programmed for Generator in the GX (AC Input 1 is grid) and having the grid voltage, AC In 1 turned off.

I switched the 3 Quattro's to charger only with gen on and grid off, no luck there.

I tried most things suggested previously on the community also with no luck.

Whilst onsite, I did change the grid code from AS4777 to "Other Not compliant to any grid code standard", I suspected the strict grid settings for AC Input 1 (grid) might also be active for AC Input 2 (gen set) and the charging started, at least for a couple of minutes before it disconnected (grid still disconnected)

I checked the NS protection Log after it stopped charging and there was an error there referencing "ROCOF". I then took particular notice of the gen-sets frequency and it seemed to change quite quickly from 49.8Hz up to 50.4Hz.

Question, do AC input 1 and AC input 2 share the same grid settings when a country code is selected? To get my system to work correctly it would seem I need the grid compliant settings for AC Input 1 and more relaxed settings (or user configurable settings), especially frequency, for the generator on AC input 2.

try disabling the Lom settings for the AC2 in, this works for me most of the time
